Gerrymandered Districts Thrown Out

“The judge recognizes that this map is unlawful and diminishes African Americans’ ability to elect representatives of their choice," Lawson said in a statement emailed to news outlets. “DeSantis is wrong for enacting this Republican-leaning map that is in clear violation of the U.S. and state constitutions.”

So, gerrymandering really is to assure minorities get represented by a person that looks like them.

Wait for the appeal. Some liberal judge in Leon County is pretty meaningless.

Hasn't this liberal Leon County Judge done this before on both a state and national level.

Further more I'm sick and tired of this African American BS. You are either an American or not. Not African, Italian, or whatever the hell ever American. Plus this BS of not being able to elect a candidate of their choice wtf just vote. Sound more like a rigged district just to elect a black person period. White or black American I dont care about their skin color. if they are a good representative I'd vote for them. But this race crap has got to end one way or another.
